Sorry if I missed it but what drivetrain do you have? Any changes you would suggest? Have you ridden anywhere with hills? Thanks so much .

No matter windy or not...I definitely Not using or never comes back on an Egyptian Pyramids designed frame for posture and health reasons. Since 1996 commuting on my first ATP Vision R40 USS plus various Recumbents later till these year 2024+ at 66 years old still using Recumbents. No prostate problems, no back and neck problems, no prescriptions drugs and no maintenance.

Hi Cory, I've been riding a recumbent bike since 2002 and I agree 100% with what you say in this video! Thank you for sharing!

You can get plain instant potato flakes and it has much less sodium than thd small flavored packs.

Where can you get this bike?

Aspect ratio is the ratio of the side of the frame vs the length of the frame. In other words, the shape of the frame. What you were describing is the effect of wide angle lenses or extreme wide angle lenses like those on POV action cameras. The wider the angle, the smaller things look at a distance. Yet, as a subject gets closer to the lens, its size increases at a greater proportion than that of a zoom or telephoto lens.

45 pounds! That's really heavy, even for a recumbent. I'd say a more typical for a bent is 30-32 lbs. Another point I'd like to dispute is that a rider is actually more aero on the recumbent. The regular upright bike has a much larger frontal profile.

They are both road bikes.

I really like the elegant design of these Cruzbikes! It seems better than rear drives with a super long chain, or traditional front drives with a chain that collides with the wheel when you turn. However, I wonder whether there are disadvantages. Eg. don't you need to work with your hands against your legs when the pedals are coupled to the steering? Might waste energy.

F🎉kin awesome guy ❤

Wait, what? My 500$ road bike with disk brakes weighed 9.8 kilos, where have you seen 13kg road bikes?

Does your neck get sore sitting like that

Hi I have a bacchetta ca3.0 which is very light. Very fast on flat and downhill but to climb its another story. The regular bikes can't follow on flat but they fly on top hill. So is the s40 better for climbing as it's told everywhere. If yes how is it possible because it's heavier. ....

I have a QuikrStuff Rack Mach2. Such an awesome bike rack. Light, fast, secure, doesn't move around.

Yes i can

Are you gonna be riding the withlacoochee ride in October?

What trail were you riding? Looks nice.

40 miles! Wow!

great video. I have a baccheta ca 3,0 which is a fantastic and light bike. really fast on flat and downhill but it s another story on top hill. is the cruz bike really efficient on tophill ? better than my bachetta ? egal of the df ???

Hip slapping 😂

I'm super-susceptible to heat exhaustion. So, I know the great value in each of your pointers. Thanks! Here is another one for consideration. Around my neck and over my chest I wear a long-rolled cotton, water-soaked bandana, and I will wet my gloves; both for evavoprative cooling. Be cool and be safe.

No suspension? Does it miss it, a bit? Can you go over gutters and stuff? Btw, those are the best Over Seat Steering handlebars I've seen yet. Thanks for the video

great video I have a bacchettta 3,0 since 4 years realy nice on down hill but hard on top. I am considering changing it for an S 40 but is the cruzbike really effective in terms of rating despite its heavier weight than upright bikes? secondly I am tall and I saw that there are several fork lengths before how to choose. thirdly, is it difficult to switch from propulsion to direct traction?

Thank you.

As a cycling newb when a bump comes I just take it because I am so tired and sore that even getting off the saddle hurts, so I end up just cringing and bracing for the pain my butt is about to experience.

I have a recumbent tandem. It is a real attention getter.

Cory, Thank you for all your Recumbent videos, many people besides myself who don't Like or comment are enjoying them 🙂 Now how please tell us how big a deal suspension is on a CruzBike? I am torn between the Q45 and the S40. Most of my riding would be on the road and I'd put skinny tires on the Q45 if I go that direction. Thank you again for all your videos!

I was hoping for another video of Cruzbike S40. Maybe next time you can do a video of you riding it along the traffic on the street, town? Please

Kudos to you for standing still in the middle of all those bugs!

terrifying. i cant imagine riding that in traffic.

Do the tires come tubeless ready? If you had a limited budget and could only have one bike the V20 or S40?

Nice ride Cory👍👍

What kind of mirror do you use on your giro?

Welcome back Cory, we need more videos of the S40.

You ever think of getting something with suspension? I have always wanted a HP Velotechnic myself but there are no dealers to test ride in my area.

Are you clipped in with that high foot position.

I am 65, recently retired, and I am enjoying undertaking bicycle tours. For trips in the flat, lets say along rivers, I will use a comfortable recumbent which I just have acquired. For trips across the alps (I live in Switzerland) I am using an E-Bike with an additional battery pack.

I just bought a HP Velotechnik Speedmachine (2 wheels) with the steering under the bike (second hand, made 2023, in perfect condition, with Rohloff gearing). Running a few steps for gaining speed is impossible due to that underneath steering. For learning to drive, I let it roll down the steep ramp leading into our garage, using about 1-2m of evelation, and then just rolling out in that 80-100m long garage. First feet close to the ground for security, then feet on the pedals, then start using the pedals on the flat, then using some ramp assistance for starting the bike with the pedals, and finally starting on the flat of the garage without the help of the ramp. Worked great, now I am working on making curves, still in that quiet garage, away from traffic. I cycled all my life, but this is my first recumbent and at the same time a somewhat tricky 2-wheeeler with steering underneath the bike. It feels wobbly and intimitating at first. However, it is perfectly possible to get used to it, also for a 65 year old...

That's the second of your clips that I watch, and I really appreciate your taste of music.

You're not clipped in. What type pedal is that.

I am 83 years old and on my 5th recumbent. In the early 90"s i said goodbye to my fleet of diamond bikes with all the associated aches and pains. My first bike was a beautiful Vision R44 with full fairing. I then added a Rans Vivo with full suspension, set up for riding non-paved trails. In 2005 i became concerened about balance and traded the bikes for an HPVelotechnik.Scorpion trike. After 2 knee replacements i found this great trike too low to exit comfortably. That trike was traded for a Greenspeed Magnum which i rode for about 10 years. My tired body began complaining about climbing hills, so i recently solved that problem with a new Terratrike EVO, equipped with a Bosch e-assist. Hills are no longer a problem, and i look forward to a few more good years of riding.

はじめまして。o(^o^)o✧︎*。自分はcruzbikeV2Kですが、シートが起き過ぎお尻が痛いので､モーターサイクル用のゲルザブを使うか、別のリカンベント用シートをV20と同じ角度にして取り付ける予定です。

Looks good

once i bought and rode my recumbent bike, i never looked back either. I bought a used Bacchetta giro with trade in for $50.00 and love it. when all my friends are complaining of lower back pain, neck pain, wrist pain, shoulder pain with their cycling shorts on. I'm just relaxing with my regular clothes and think how fun the ride has been. when my friends complain about the wind, i think it wasn't to bad. I don't know why the 2 wheel recumbent bike sales have plummeted. I guess people don't like in comfort? I will be looking to upgrade my bike this year so i can ride faster. thanks for the video about recumbent riding!

Nice, i can't do that on my challenge furai understeer

Neevr seen a flexy chainstay that does not absorb watts, and this one here is a pivot; unless your upper body is perfectly in sync to fight every pedal stroke and consuming zero watts while doing so.

I'm wondering how you warmed up before riding and which bike you used to warm up? There could have been some advantage to riding the second bike just due to having already warmed up. Also, I'm wondering why you switched from the Bacchetta used in previous videos to the Cruzbike? BTW, the S40 is more of an "endurance road bike", not really designed as a direct competitor/replacement for a typical road bike although there is some overlap. The V20 on the other hand was designed to be a direct competitor/replacement to road bikes and probably would make for better comparison.. I own and ride both. I will say that once you get your bent legs, in most situations, you will be faster on a comparable recumbent. At least that is my experience. Thanks again for the videos!

I would have liked to see you do this video using a more equivalent recumbent model, perhaps a Cruzbike S40 or V20(c). Otherwise, great job.

you realy need a power meter you can swap between the bikes too make truely fair comparisons of speed - as its proberly not possible to even do effort based on feel because the biomechanics are so different . still very intreasting vid though 🙂

Just got an S40. No one to help. Wish you lived in my neighborhood. Still trying to set the pedals and handlebars. Trying to learn to get on and off. Thanks for your videos.
